is there any good program which allows you to quickly close running programs without having to go into settings?
running programs consume battery life.
SPB Pocket Plus 2.2 it is doing a good job for me :wink:

thanks primoz.
where can i download it from and is it free?
will it work on my mda III?
thanks again
Try here ... but unfortunately is not free :roll:

I use a piece of software called PocketNav. All this does is add a lightning bolt Icon to the top right hand side of the screen alongside the normal close and ok buttons. This allows you to click it and a drop down box appears with all running apps listed. From here you can close individual apps or close all apps.
I've attached it below, all you need do is copy it to your PocketPC somewhere (like program files\Pocketnav\), and place a shortcut to this in your startup folder (\windows\startup\) so it starts after Resets.
Hope this helps,

RetiBar
try this software http://www.mail-mobile.it/download.htm
it's free
u can also try this good freeware : "my tools" by micro cheng
RetiBar
Hi, how do I install RetiBar? It's a CAB file with two files in it (0RetiBar.000 and RETIIT~1.001).
Thx
Pocketnav is free and a brilliant simple unobtrusice piece of software that serves its purpose superbly.

Have to agree, but I can't use it anymore. I use maimaich's (I am sure I mispellt his name) contacts program and like the side effect that I can use the Red Exit key to close programs as well, this does not work with most of the task closing programs except "my tools" (so far).
Wish I knew why, because I much prefer PocketNav.
PocketNav is excellent!!! I've yet to find a better program.

Thanks, MiTULSKY, just tried RetiBar and it works great for closing programs and does not affect Maimaich's contacts program using the End key as a close for all other programs. Only wish it I could make it smaller, but it does the trick.
RetiBar
No dude! RetiBar came from lorenzo_bisi. I'm sure it will work great, BUT I STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO INSTALL IT!

I know that 4.1 is only just out & I think it's brilliant. I'm spending every evening checking new posts and playing with my phone like never before. So, before the 4.1 thread becomes the next thread with 1200 posts, I thought I'd start a new thread for ideas for 4.2
Tom - before I found the magic that is B&B I was using Wisbar Advance desktop and an application called innesoft address book which had a great feature that when someone called you, their photo was displayed full screen with their name (see thumbnails) rather than just the standard windows window.
Any chance you could devlelop something similar for 4.2 !!!
Cheers

Here is something that may hold you over, I am still trying to figure out how to use the caller id without the actual slide to unlock, bit here is something to tide you over, jsut a thought
Have a pretty much full screen keyboard for texting in landscape mode? The text appears at the top?
Is there a way we can assign a button to lock the phone rather than go thruogh the menu?
Cheers
Anybody knows if it is legal to include trial versions of apps in cooked rom?
Was thinking rom with included sktools, english dictionary of some kind, IM+, resco explorer, spb gprs monitor included on rom would save time and space. Apps included would be trial versions and ppl haveing bought them could just enter activation keys/serials, others could buy app if thy liked it.

This would be a waste of time and energy for most, these Roms are made to be efficient, the least amount of space used so that you as an individual can place your desired programs, once a rom is built there is no removing/uninstalling of any apps, hence the reason to not put trial versions into a rom, I use several of the above mentioned, but to "Bloat" a rom with them would be ineffecient. Best thing to do is install on your sd card, keep all your initial install cabs in one folder and use that as your rebuild folder. Cheers.

Is it not worth remembering that everyone has a different list of killer apps they MUST have on their device?
If Tom & Meschle etc added every app - the rom would only just fit on a 40gb hard disk!!!
To my mind - the idea is that the cooked roms are a basis onto which you install your own apps to make your own device work?
Constanlty asking for new apps to be added to a rom just complicates the issue. Or am I wrong?
something so i can remotly use my desktop via PPC
then im complete
automated network setup like in the O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE rom
Extended timers & alarms application
I'd like to avoid installing SpbTime on each version
Great job!
OK, i agree, rom should be as slim as possible, but why the hell there is cube, psshutXP, PHM regedit/traylaunch, and office mobile on it then?
Could make an ultra lite wersion. (=
P.S. Dont get me wrong, i think 4.1 is great and it is a lot faster than O2. Just throwing around ideas about how to make it better.
with my original post, I was not really asking for a copy of the app, just would like a much bigger photo to pop up with caller id and liked the look of the inesoft one.
Tom - what do you think?
Just trying to make the ROM easier to use, more efficient.
B&B 4.1 is far better than original ROM from this point of view
TouchFlo for example helps to have everything we need with a single finger move..
Phone app is a lot more usable also.
Perhaps also the possibility to customize HTC Home by default, with more options (number of apps in the launcher, ..)
i don't think that is constructive to add as much apps, i can imagine, when it's released, everbody is shouting "this is not good" and "why did you use this app and not the other one"...and so one. I like it clear, not too much apps...but that's my opinion.
If i want it with all apps included then i start (to learn ) cooking my own ROM... IMHO i am very satisfied with the work that Tom is doing for us all. And 4.1 is just released. Enjoy it and let Tom make a break. He is hard working all the time!
Plugins for new version
Alarms extension (SpbTime style)
USB PenDrive emulator (WMstorage style)
Phone call recording (Audio Recorder style)
Thanks for B&B! Great job!
i have a great idea
Why dont we support Tom and all off his hard work and all the other wizards here, and stop complaining or asking for more.
like a bunch of kids in a sweet shop.
Improving File access
What I would like to see is the File Dialog Changer, I don't know who has heard of it but it is very good! Usually when you want to save files or open them in any application you get access to you My Documents folder. Only some smart apps like TCPMP and others have the option to access your entire pda.
File Dialog Changer changes the way you access your files in opening and saving them for every application, it's just 50 KB and you can activate / deactivate it in System Settings.

And about your wish I can only say that there is already Remote Desktop for WM6, I think I've downloaded it in the Wizard forum. Or use PocketVNC, that is the pda version for VNC. I am successfully using that with TightVNC on my computer. I just have to be in range of my WLAN and can turn on my computer by sending a wake on lan signal (not with vnc) and then access my computer through pocketvnc or access the files on my computer.

I think he had a point though. In the whole thread there is not one message of Tom Codon himself. Did you ask what he thinks? Maybe he has a few ideas of his own? After all, it will be his ROM...
Who says it will be B&B v4.2? Why not 4.3 or 5.0? If there will be another version let him take care of the numbers.
Yeah all the dialers have tiny little pics for the contacts. Is there anyone that would be willing to make them bigger? Or is there a good photo contact program anyone can recomend?
Thanks!
Have you tried photo contact pro

You can use Photo Contacts Pro 3.0 for free
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/domore/photocontact.mspx
Very recommended...
not working
Thanks for the suggestion, but I cant see where it's free. I did not fill out the ms survey. Is that required.
Thanks

It is free you just need to login with your "live" details, however here it is if you cannot be bothered Oh and yet me know how you get on wih it as Ive never tried it myself.
i also tried once photocontacts pro and although it has many usefull features i gave up using it... because it made my device very slow when it came to ringing... even with the clear rom it takes a lot to ring... with PC Pro the thing got worse... is the same with you or is somthing with my device (M3100)....
Well
This is photocontacts pro 3.0, meanwhile theres V 5.0 available...
I used photocontacts pro before and I was very satisfied with it. Of course you have to install the program itself AND all of your ringtones in the main memory, then it will not slow down your device. You can find it here:
http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/
And I think, its possible to upgrade the MS Version, so it will be cheaper
If you larger pics just for incoming calls, you can try S2U2, its freeware:

As already mentioned its a very old version. And it is not freeware, its a testversion sponsored by MS, running for 90 days. So I recommend to everbody who wants to test photocontacts pro to use the newest one from www.pocketx.net.
Sponsored by MS
Everybody can download a test version, no need for sponsoring.
@doozerbob: what cab file did you install?
i used activesync to install it, tried version 3ish and got not valid, tried version 4ish and the demo worked fine, tried version 5ish and it wouldnt even start up, but im presuming thats because of my fone having veeery old firmware
Can anyone recomend a program for making notes of the today screen (i presume there must be a program for doing this). preferably free too
Cheers,
handwrite memo
Yes, there is, and it's freeware too .
Look here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-hand-write-memo-today-plugin.html
brilliant thanks very much, will try now
-- Doesnt seem to work, downloaded and installed ok, but doesnt do anything... lol
anyone else tried it?
I don't know the program, but maybe you have to activate it in settings - Today? Today-plugins need to be activated through this menu to display them.
had a look there, its not in the today settings anywhere...
I think it should be there in the "items"-tab.
But like I said, I don't have this program, so I don't know for sure...
yeh, it should be, but it aint. ah well. find another prog... cheers anyway
I used to use NotesToday, and made some skins for it.
http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/display_product.jsp?id=prod5690811
Nice app, but I realised that it gets a bit cramped writing notes on the today screen. That's what the Notes app is for! Also try BugMe, a great app.

Here is the readme file at the site of the developer:
http://home.comcast.net/~cheezsj/pocketpc/handwriteforpokep/english/Readme_English.txt
You have to install the program in main memory, after that the prog can be configured in settings > today > items.
Hope this works for you.
sketchit is a nice one
i use spb diary =) notes on today))
my screen :
Can't fault Bug-Me
I am using the quick memo from here:
http://home.comcast.net/~cheezsj/menue_pocketpc.htm

I'm after a password manager for the device to keep track of all my online passwords.
What is the best one for this device?
i think "spb wallet 2" is really great
Thanks. Will check it out.
give KeePass a try
checked out ewallet. Looks good but costs a fair bit after the trial. Not sure I want to pay this much if I'm honest.
There seem to be various versions of keepass about. Not sure which one to try out. Anybody got a link of the best one to use for the HTC touch hd
Also checked out spb wallet but this is a bit pricey as well. . Would prefer a freeware option if at all possible
I use KeePassPPC wm6 v0.4.9
sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=175898&sel_platform=2374
On the PC i use the classic version. v2 is beta and looks good.
thanks. tried the version listed and it's excellent.
can this link with the desktop version of the software?
If so this would be excellent.
the pc version that's compatible with the non beta version I'm using is the classic v1.5
http://keepass.info/download.html
Thanks. Do you reckon it would work with 1.15 portable edition?
Databases of Keepass 1.15 on PC and KeepassPPC 0.4.9 on PDA are compatible. I sync the databases with ActiveSync between PC and PDA. Works great.
Keepass is the best... the PC version is always sync with your PDA version and its very useful... and it is free and opensource
I haven't tried it yet, but MobilePasswordSafe looks good. I'm in the process of writing my own app and using the controls he wrote for this. It's really good and quite intuitive. Best of all is the nice Touch UI
EDIT: oh yeah, and the other best thing... it's free!! lol.

1. Is there a desktop application?
2. Can you attach this file here?
Dont know about a desktop application.
And it's not my work, so not really wanting to upload it myself. If someone else wants to build and upload the cab then they are welcome to
